With the summer well under way and hopefully some continuous sunshine, here are some walks which would make for a great day out.

It’s been 2 years since I opened the doors of this little Shepherds Hut and I’m blown away by the number of visitors I’ve had again this year and so incredibly proud of the amazing feedback I’ve received from my guests. The garden is a truly magical place to be and I love sharing it with others.

Thank you to every one of my guests for choosing The Dragonfly Hut and showing me that the world is full of kind, respectful and interesting people.

Here’s to year 3! Cheers 🥂💚💙

The day after the summer solstice and the longest day of the year look up to the sky for the June full moon, which is also the "Strawberry Moon."
It's rare for a full Moon to happen within a day of a solstice and this usually occurs about every 19 to 20 years, according to Space.com.
The June full Moon usually appears reddish because it's close to the horizon and the lowest full Moon of the year, according to Almanac.com.
Don't expect to see a bright red Moon that looks like a strawberry, but it should appear to be pink or reddish.
The name Strawberry Moon has been used by Native American Algonquin tribes to mark the June ripening of strawberries ready to be gathered, according to Almanac.com.
In Europe, it's known as the Mead, Honey or Rose Moon.
